The Discussion Guide import template is an Excel file that you can use to add your content and seamlessly upload your Guide to the Remesh platform.
- Column A (Notes) will be for any personal notes. This is not imported into the platform.
- Column B (Cross Conversation Tag - Polls and Opinions only) can be used to tag Poll and Ask Opinion questions that you wish to aggregate across multiple Remesh conversations (e.g. running the same conversation across different markets or audience groups). Assigning merge tags is not required to merge conversation data across conversations, thanks to On-Platform Merge . If you choose to utilize Merge Tags in the import template, tag the first Poll question that you wish to aggregate as "Merge 1" and follow suit in increasing numerical order through the conversation.
- Column C (Item type) will be where you select the type of item you'd like to send to the group from the dropdown menu. You can find an overview of these item types here . Note that Branching is currently not supported in the Excel import template.
- Column D (Content) is where you actually enter the statement or question.
- Column E (Duration) is where you enter the timer for the questions. Please select the time from the drop-down menu, you can find our recommended question time duration here .
- Column G (Randomize poll options for each participant?) is where you can choose to randomize poll options for each participant to eliminate bias
- Column H (Add "Other" as an option?) is where you can choose to automatically add "Other" as a poll option anchored to the bottom of your entire set of options
- Column I (Add "None of the above" as an option?) is where you can choose to automatically add "None of the above" as a poll option anchored to the bottom of your entire set of options
- Columns J-AC (Poll or Category Option) is where you'll enter the poll choices for any Onboarding Poll, Poll Single Select, or Poll Multi-Select. This is also where you'll enter the categories for Ask Experience questions. Note that while the import template only includes room for 20 options, you can add more in the Discussion Guide Builder on the platform.
- NOTE: Branching questions are not available in the Discussion Guide template, but can be programed into your Discussion Guide manually on the platform.
